3 of 4 Occupy DC hunger strikers end their fasts

WASHINGTON — Three of the four Occupy D.C. protesters who pledged to refuse food until Congress took action to give representation to the District of Columbia have ended their fast.

Sam Jewler tells The Associated Press he ended his hunger strike Monday afternoon after 11 days. He drank coconut water, then had a bowl of miso broth and some hummus, which he says has never tasted so good. He says he was pressured by his family and advised by his physician to end the strike.
